Reviewer 2 Report

The communication entitled "Microwave-assisted extraction of four essential oils: evaluation of its antifungal effect and chemical composition" is very interesting from the point of view of organic protection of plants from disease agents Fusarium oxysporum.

There are some comments.

Instead EOS - EOs

Plant material - who determined plant material, where it is deposited, voucher No? Is this wild growing plants or cultivated?

2.3. EOS extraction - provide more information! Is this some type of house-built apparatus? Give scheme!

Time of extraction? Same for all species?

What about Fusarium oxysporum? Is this your isolate? give more information.
